Youth leagues warn police

Richard was among the youth who demonstrated in front of Parliament buildings last week where some were detained whilst others were assaulted by police.

“Let me warn these police officers using force on young people for no reason that unemployment also affects their siblings. They should be warned that abusing their powers will get them into trouble. We will be forced to fight them back if they continue,” he said. Richard said lack of jobs is due to poor leadership and substandard policies that are failing to improve the lives of Batswana.
